Take a Thrilling Sky Ride
lesson on a custom designed motor-less tandem aircraft, commonly known as a hang glider.

Although an Ultralight airplane tows you and your certified instructor into the sky, you
soon release and fly free - just like birds. Modern hang gliders are safe, versatile, and fun,
allowing The Florida Ridge to offer you a wide variety of tandem Sky Ride lessons,
each with its own benefits and special appeal. The only thing better
than taking a Sky Ride yourself is giving someone you know a
Gift Certificate to take one themselves.

The Ultimate Mile-High Sky Ride

The Experience of a Lifetime!

Fly 5,280 feet into the air
and soar freely above and among the clouds, the entire Florida countryside stretched
out before you, coast to coast. Float by your own cloud shadow,
mystically encircled in a rainbow formed by the refracting sunlight.
You'll be aloft for so long, you'll be able to experience all the thrills and
excitement of the other Four(4) Sky Rides put together! And when you finally
descend you will never again look into the sky without reliving this
spectacular adventure.
